Haha, yep. I’ll agree in saying that it was totally adorable. This author was inspired to write the story after her daughter experienced some episodes of not quite fitting in and feeling unaccepted by her peers. This storybook definitely illustrates an open-minded approach to accepting others for whatever it is they’re into doing! Thanks for the llama love. :heart:

This sounds like such a wonderful story! The picture on the cover is so cute! I don't often see children's books focusing on the health benefits of meditation and yoga, very intriguing. Thanks for your insightful review!
Happy reading! :techie-studyingbrown:

What an adorable book! Narcoleptic by nature... I couldn't stop laughing at that! Lamas are adorable in real life and these creatures probably even more so. Thanks for a good-mood review! :)

I was pleasantly surprised by the content too! The darling animal illustrations initially pulled me in, but then seeing the yoga/meditation component directed specifically at children?! Well that sealed the deal; young and inquiring minds will absorb this sort of new hobby introduction like sponges.

Haha, thank you. I’m glad that drowsy descriptor had the intended effect! Llamas and alpacas are a hoot, especially when they tilt their heads sideways and wear retro shades. I can honestly say that I’ve enjoyed the happy pages of children’s books lately (this year more than ever). Thanks for stopping by!

I wholeheartedly agree! It explores quite a relaxing message through its introduction to youth yoga and meditation themes. Thanks for coming by to read and comment!

What a unique book! I would love to see a sloth playing guitar, and that llama bro does sound cool.

Thanks for painting such a lovely picture of this book. Reading your review was a delight. :greetings-waveyellow:

It was certainly a joy to find this one! It’s like a group of hippie, free spirit, shade-wearing cool critters got together to consider new things and chill... Haha, glad you enjoyed the review! Thank you
